Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

Pocket Rocks

This is what I wore yesterday. Yes, all at the same time.

Modern underwear.Long johns2 pairs of socks.Jeans.A long sleeved shirt.Rubber boots.A petticoat.A skirt in the style of the 1870's.A bodice in the same style.A bustle fluff thing.1 knitted shawl.2 capes, one long and thin and one short and wool.2 scarves.1 1870's hat.1 pair long gloves.1 umbrella - I didn't exactly wear it but I had it on my person all day so it almost counts.

And I was still cold. So I added a little bag with a pocket rock in it. Pocket rocks are rocks that you heat up on a woodstove until they're too hot to touch and you have to hold them in little quilted bags. They warm your hands and are the best invention in the world.

Today I have the day off and I have finally warmed up. There is no way I could live here all year round. No way at all.
